Well, this is not for purists but...
Those phone cord detanglers are 360 degree electrical swivels. It might be
a bit of a trick to mount but it would work great and they only cost a few
bucks.

Cool idea. I've been working on a wheeled tank using the add/sub
transmission discussed here. I have a small rotating turret on top of the
beast, but hadn't yet figured out a good way to trigger the CyberSlam
darts.

You bet! Someone said there'd be a competition in Austin...
Has anyone figured out a good way to maintain an electrical connection
between two parts separated by a 360 deg. rotating joint? Wire would just
twist up eventually and pop loose or tear.
Cheers,
Ben
